How to Prepare for Your Acne Doctor Visit

Having made your appointment with a healthcare provider, there are certain actions you can take to maximize the benefit of your doctor visit listed in this acne patient education guide.

  • Make a list of all the skin care and hair care products you use.
  • Make a list of all medications, vitamins and supplements you are taking. Include the dosage you are taking of each.
  • Think about any things that seem to trigger your acne or pimples to flare up and write them down.
  • Write down key personal information, including prior illnesses, diet and exercise habits, washing habits, and any major stresses or recent life changes.
  • Make a list of questions you have for the doctor so that you don’t forget to ask any of them.
